【2019 • 山东东营】

Scrub, the pet cat of Jennifer’s, was found! It got lost five years ago. Jennifer looked for it everywhere but failed each time. She thought Scrub would never come back. But one day she got a call from an animal shelter(庇护所) and was told they had found Scrub!

How did they know Scrub belonged to Jennifer? How did they know Jennifer’s phone number? All the information was available because of the microchip, a very small computer chip(薄片). It was placed under Scrub’s skin many years earlier.

The microchip is usually placed under the skin of an animal’s shoulder to keep its ID number. Once the chip is in place, the pet does not feel it anymore. When lost pets are brought to animal shelters, people there use a special tool to look for the microchip and read the ID number on it, then they’ll call the microchip company to match the number to the information of the pet’s owner. This is how the shelter was able to tell Jennifer that they had found Scrub.

Microchips have helped thousands of owners get their lost pets back. In New York, a dog named Roxy was missing for months. Then a woman found her on a busy street in New Jersey. No one knows how the dog got to a different state. However, thanks to her microchip, Roxy was soon returned to her grateful owner.

In 2008, a couple got their cat George back after he had disappeared 13 years earlier! When George got lost, the couple tried everything to find him. They visited animal shelters every day for six months, made posters and even offered a $500 reward(酬金). As years went by, they thought George would never be back till they got the call from an animal shelter. Without the microchip, the cat would never be able to come home again.

Microchips can not only work for a pet’s whole life but help lost pets no matter how far they’ve been away from home. This is why microchips may be just the thing to help bring missing pets back home.

36. How did Jennifer find her pet cat?

A. By visiting animal shelters. B. By offering a $500 reward.

C. With the help of the microchip. D. With the help of a woman in New Jersey.

A. ③①②④ B. ③④①② C. ①③④② D. ③①④②

We’ll have a party to celebrate our motherland’s birthday on O________ 1st.

Some of the greatest problems we face today are the destruction of our environment, such as brown clouds, polluted water, endangered wild animals…These problems seem so huge.

So my family do what we can do. We take cloth bags to stores instead of using plastic bags. If we can walk to a place, we never drive there.

But does it do any good? When I am the only one in line at the market with cloth bags, am I doing any good? Does my walking to stores make any real difference to the world?

I recently learned something about flamingos which like to get together in groups of a thousand or more. Every year, when the time for migration comes, a few of them first take off from the lake. But none of the others seem to notice, so the small group returns. However, next day they try again. This time a few more fly along with them, but most of the others still pay no attention, so they return again. They try several times. Every time a few more birds join, but since thousands of the others still take no notice, the great migration plan is once more stopped.

Then one day something changes. The same small group of bids once again starts flying and a few more join just as before, then more. Finally, they all take flight and the migration really begins. What a spectacular sight it must be—thousands of flamingos taking off into the sky at the same time!

A few can make a difference. Even if you’re the one of take the first step, continue trying and others will some day take notice and together we will solve even our greatest problems.

4 ． What’s the writer’s purpose of writing this passage?

A ． To show that he loves to see the migration of flamingos.

B ． To tell readers to continue trying and what they do can make a difference some day.

C ． To introduce a special kind of flamingo to readers.

D ． To show that there are many problems in the world.

Dear schoolmates,

I am Li Yang from the Students’ Union. We’re having an activity of being a good student.

Dean felt his arms and legs were burning. With each breath, Dean wondered if he should be done, but as he touched the wall at the end of the pool he turned for another lap ( 圈 ). "I can do one more. This is for Kevin,” Dean told himself. He was starting his seventh lap.

Dean and the other members of his swim team were swimming to raise money for Dean's best friend, Kevin Hawking. Earlier in the year, Kevin fell ill. He needed expensive medical care that his family couldn't afford. After Kevin's friends learned what was happening, they started brainstorming ways to help. Several of Kevin's friends were on the swim team, which led to the idea of swimming.

For a month, Dean and the other swim team members had asked for pledges （承诺） from anyone who would help: family members, friends, and neighbours. Most people pledged a dollar or two each lap. Dean's grandmother said she would offer $ 10 for each lap Dean swam!

Finally, as Dean completed his tenth lap, he knew he was too tired to keep going. If I try another lap. I'll end up lying in the middle of the pool, waiting for someone to come and get me, he thought. Dean pulled himself up onto the edge of the pool and sat breathing quickly for a couple of minutes, quietly resting before he tried to stand.

Dean's father came over and said, "Wow, Dean," shaking his head in amazement, "I am so proud of you. That's farther than anyone else has swum today, and I know it's farther than you've ever swum before."

Dean stood up and slowly walked with his father back to the seats where the other swimmers sat next to Kevin. "Thank you," Kevin said.

"It's no big deal. I know you'd do the same for me," Dean said.

There are a lot of interesting things living in the sea. There are many types of fish and many other animals. There are also many types of plants.

In the sea, all sea creatures get food from other sea creatures. At the first link of the food chain are the sea plants and plankton (浮游生物). Plants are found only in the sunlight zone where there is enough light for them, however, animals are found at all depths of the oceans though their numbers are greater near the surface where food is enough. Many kinds of fish and animals, such as the snail, shrimp, jellyfish, and sea star eat the plankton. The small animals and fish that eat plankton then become food for larger fish, such as the tuna and mackerel. These fish are then eaten by larger fish and animals, such as the shark and dolphin. The shark and dolphin are at the top of the food chain in the sea. Sharks are very dangerous so many people are eaten by them in the sea. But why the number of the shark is becoming smaller and smaller? And who eats the shark? Check out the menu at a seafood restaurant next time you are eating there.
